Well, seeing as how I just upgraded to premium and now want to let the cat out of the bag, I figured I'd bring out a new journal and see how it looks.

Back in August, I was still looking to get my comic started. You see, I've had this idea for the past two years about a thief girl and her family. I tried to create my own manga, which failed miserably. But then I discovered that I can write scripts pretty well, so I hired an artist to do a test manga. The manga came out great (you can see it in the gallery) but after attempting to pitch it to various companies, nothing came of it.

Flash forward to August. On a whim, I went onto DA and searched the Jobs forum, only to find an artist who was not only looking for a project, but had an art style that was exactly what I wanted for my comic.

His name is He has a great style and you can now see his art all over this page. He also has lined up an inker and colorist , which made my life a hell of a lot easier.

Right now the simple goal is to drum up some interest and build a fanbase, as well as create a website. Currently, DA will be the home of SAMBA, but shortly (hopefully in the next two weeks) the new website will be build and we can all go over there.

I've got high hopes for this comic, but its success only depends on YOU, the reader. So, tell me what you think, let me hear your opinion. I can only strive to make this the best comic out there.
